My mind might be a clusterfuck of confusion right now, but there is one thing I know; you are NOT a drama queen.

Sweetie, if in fact you are looking for something to be wrong with you, there probably is something wrong with you. Only you know what goes on inside your head. If you know it's not right, talk to someone. I was once 16 and sad in NJ. I wasn't diagnosed with depression until I was in my 30's. I wish I had gotten help sooner. I still deal with depression but at least now I know what I'm dealing with. I don't know who is blowing you off and calling you a drama queen but you need to advocate for yourself. Go to your guidance councelor or school nurse if your family won't help you. Don't waste precious years. Get the help you need now.

You have the right to know why you do these things. that is why it is so important to reach out abd get some help. You do deserve to think good thoughts and do things kids your age should do. Please find someone you trust and let them get you the help you deserve. There is nothing wrong with neddeing help from now and then.
